: That's a good question. I thought about this for a bit and I think the best analogy here is with a novel. Sometimes novels have a poem or quote preceding chapter 1 but inside the front cover. I think this is no different, as the booklet itself is presented as ''Monstrous Beauty'', with the cover saying ''Monstrous Beauty''. The extract precedes "part 1" and the start of the comic, but it's fully encapsulated within the booklet, which otherwise contains nothing but ''MB'' and a few advertisements. Now with such quotes or poems, I'd suggest that we'd consider them valid as a prelude to the story and a part of the novel. I'm not sure if that is policy though, and I can't think of any examples off the top of my head to verify.
